34、terminations of thesample alpha and beta radioactivecontents, but relativedeterminations referred to specific alpha and beta emitters thatconstitute the standard calibrationsources. In order toobtain a thin deposit directlyona planchet, the sample can be progressivelyevaporated todryness at a temper
35、ature below about 85 C. Alternatively,for alpha determination, it can be concentrated via a coprecipitation, the filtered coprecipitate being measured on to the planchet (Reference 3). The grossalpha and grossbeta activityofthe deposit is measured by counting in an alpha- and beta-particle detectoro
36、rcounting system previouslycalibratedagainst alpha- and beta-emittingstandards.When suspended matter is present in a significant quantity,a filtration step is required and the grossalpha and grossbeta activitycan alsobedetermined forthe material retainedonthefilter. IMPORTANT Due to the ingrowth of
37、radon daughters over time, the results aredependent on thetime elapsed between sample preparationand measurement. For comparisonpurposes, it is recommendedthatthe measurementbeperformed at the same time after the preparation of the sample. 5 Chemical reagentsand equipment5.1 ReagentsAll reagents sha
38、ll be of recognised analytical grade and shall not contain any detectable alpha and betaactivity, exceptforradioactive standardssolutions. 5.1.1 Standard solutions5.1.1.1 Alpha standardThe choiceofalpha standard depends on the knowledge of the type of radioactive contaminant likely to be present in
39、the watersbeing tested. In general, this leads to a choice between naturally occurring and man-made alpha emitters. Commonlyused standards of artificial alpha-emittingradionuclides employedfor this purpose are241Amsolutions and 239Pu solutions. When 239Pu is used, the presence of241Pu as an impurity
40、shall be taken intoaccount as it leads to growth of241Am in prepared standardsolutions of sources. When 241Am is used, takeintoaccount thepotential interferencesofitsgammaemission. NOTE An uraniumcompound of certifiednatural or known isotopic composition has onearguableadvantage, in thatits specific
41、activity can be calculated fromestablished physicalconstants and isotopicabundance date which areindependent of the calibration proceduresofaparticular organisation. However, an uraniumcompoundofknownisotopiccomposition is difficult to obtain. Furthermore, since the energies of the alpha emissions f
42、rom uranium isotopes are lessthan those fromthe artificialtransuranic nuclides, the use of a uranium standard tends to givea highresult for transuranicelements. 5.1.1.2 BetastandardThe choiceofbeta standard depends on knowledge ofthe typeof radioactive contaminant likelytobe present in the watersbei
43、ngtested. As a natural material,40Kaspotassiumchloride, dried to constant mass at 105 C, can be used.

Ion-implanted Si detectorsand thin (u100 gcm2)window-proportional countersmay also be used. Grossalpha and grossbeta activity can alsobe countedusing a silver-activatedzincsulfide scintillation screen and plasticscintillation detector, respectively. 6 Sam
